After the announcement of the ceasefire, Pakistan has fully reopened its airspace for all fights across the country. The information was provided by Pakistan Airports Authority and noted that they had closed its airspace to all air traffic. 

Reason behind military actions

For the last three days, India and Pakistan have witnessed a military action against each other after the massacre in Pahalgam. Due to this, around 26 people have been killed in Jammu and Kashmir in India. In response to this, India launched the air strike towards Pakistan on May 9, 2025, and after that, Pakistan also launched drone attack towards India. 

Fake news amid India-Pakistan tensions

A fake news has been spread that in several areas of India, drone attack has been happened. Due to this, the reactions were given on social media. But in reality, the video that went viral on social media was actually a farm fire and it was unrelated. 

The missile attack video from Beirut blast in 2020 has also went viral on social media, citing that it was Pakistan’s strike towards India.

In the third rumour, the false claims have been made that there was an airstrike on Amritsar citizens by Indian forces from the Ambala Airbase. 

In the fourth rumour, it was claimed that a ban had been imposed on airports, though no such ban was implemented across India.

Pakistan violates ceasefire

Pakistan has violated the ceasefire and started firing towards major parts of India including such as Srinagar, Kashmir, Pathankot and Gurdaspur.  However, the violation is criticized by the Indian officials and others.
